How to Make a Blind and Attended Transfer with Polycom Soundpoint IP 335

In this example we will demonstrate how to perform a blind and attended (consultative) transfer using a Polycom Soundpoint IP 335.

Note: A Blind Transfer is a transfer to another extension without actually initiating a call to the end destination. The call is blindly transferred to the destination.
By comparison, an attended transfer is a transfer where before actually transferring to the destination, the call is put on hold and another call is initiated to confirm whether the end destination actually wants to take the call or not. These two calls are then merged together.

Press the “Answer” soft key to answer an incoming call.

Press the “Trnsfr” soft key.

Press the “Blind” soft key and dial the extension number of the person you would like to transfer the call to. Press the “Dial” button to complete the transfer.

Attended Transfer Method

Press the “Answer” soft key to answer an incoming call.

Press the “Trnsfr” soft key to start the attended transfer procedure. This will automatically put the caller on hold.
